Chapter Ninety
Isabella
The scene before me made me angry, and it began to irritate me. I turned away and left the place where I had been hiding, watching the two couples reconcile.
It made me annoyed, and I grew green with envy. I walked away with a frown on my face and my hands clenched.
I met Stephen in front and quickly turned around, clutching onto my fast-beating heart.
"Hey…" He seemed to call, and I exhaled deeply before turning to face him.
"Did… Did you call my name?" I asked, trying to keep myself from getting nervous.
"Yes, you," He replied and walked up to me before stopping. "You are Isabella, right?"
"Obviously," I answered, looking away.
"Why do you act strange whenever we meet?" He asked, and I looked at him with a strong look on my face.
"What is that supposed to mean?" I asked, my voice bolder and deeper than before.
"Wait a minute!" He yelled, pointing at my face. "Have we met before?"
"Excuse me?" My voice shook as I took a few steps backward.
"It's just that you look very familiar," He said, and I quickly shook my head.
"I'm sorry, but we haven't met before. I should leave now. Excuse me," I said and walked away from him briskly.
I didn't want to go to my room, so I went to Laura's bedroom instead.
"Oh, my!" She gushed excitedly, a happy look on her face. "What are you doing here? Did you come to see me?"
Instead, tears started streaming down my eyes, and my face turned sad and miserable. Laura's face went confused, and she quickly got on her feet.
"What is it? Tell me what happened?" She asked.
Despite wiping off my tears from my face, fresh ones wouldn't stop staining there. I just let out a depressed and frustrated sigh before sitting on the sofa. Laura sighed deeply as well, as she was worried before sitting close to me.
"Isabella. Can you just stop crying and tell me what is going on?" Laura asked, staring at me.
"It's that woman," I said, and her eyes grew wide.
"Vivian? What's the problem again?" Laura asked, growing curious, and also hoping that she didn't cause something big.
"That woman came back with the Lycan King. They are together again!" I screamed, sobbing, and she gasped.
"What? Why? How?" She asked, and I explained the whole story to her, from the beginning to end without leaving a single piece out.
Laura bit her lower lip, her face looked upset. "I guess Damien didn't give his all. Pathetic!"
"So, what are we going to do?" I asked, wiping my never-ending tears.
She faced me and let out a soft sigh. "Now, that we don't have a choice, we shall use the last card"
"What… What is that?" I stuttered.
Laura smirked, and moved closer to me, before placing her lips against my left ear. She whispered a bunch of things, and my eyes widened.
"Are you sure about that? Won't the Lycan King be hurt that we released his secret?" I asked, and she quickly placed her finger against her lips.
"Sshh… Like I said before, this is the last card. There could be a lot of consequences, but I don't care, I'm going to risk them all," She whispered, and I smiled wickedly.

"Bye," Oregon whispered to Vivian, waving his hand.
"Bye," Vivian smiled, waving back.
"Oh, Vivian! I don't want to leave. Can we just stay together throughout today!" He whined, pouting his lips.
"You have been saying that since we got back together. You should go to your room now. Don't worry, I shall meet you tonight," She winked, and he blushed.
"I will be waiting!" He jumped, and scurried off, since he was too embarrassed to look at me in the face.
"So cute," She chuckled, and she shut the door. At that moment, there was a knock on the door.
"Who is that?" She asked, walking up to it. When she opened the door, I met a note on the floor. NôvelDrama.Org: owner of this content.
"What is this?" She whispered and bent down to pick it. Before unfolding the small paper, she looked around.
Finally, she unfolded the paper and read the little content on it which said, "Wanna know a secret? Go meet Laura!"
She swallowed hard. "A secret?" She whispered, and shut the door, feeling curious already.
She wondered what Laura was going to tell her; Was Laura going to tell her more about my mother? She moved out and walked down to Laura's room. She noticed her door was a little bit opened. As I was about to enter, I heard Laura say,
"Too bad she doesn't know he was the one that killed her parents."
"Whose parents? Oh, you mean Vivian?" Isabella chuckled, and her feet stopped moving.
"Yeah… When she knows that it's Oregon, I wonder how she would feel," Laura said, causing Vivian to gasp in shock.
Her hands covered her opened mouth, and her legs wobbled. It was a lie! It should be a lie! Did you hear well?
She didn't know when she started running back to her room. Probably she misheard them since it sounded unbelievable. She couldn't believe she was hallucinating that hot afternoon.
Vivian's legs stopped on its tracks when she saw Oregon standing close to her door. When he saw her, he smiled and waved to her.
Her heart skipped, and she inhaled deeply, grabbing her dress by the side.
"What are you doing here?" She asked in a whisper, when she walked up to him.
"I missed you, so I had to come back. I don't think I can leave you for today," He replied, with a broad smile.
However, when he saw the pale and distressed look on Vivian's face, he couldn't help but get worried.
"Are you alright?" He asked, taking his hand to touch her face but she quickly dodged it.
"What is wrong?" He asked, concerned.
She took my eyes down, and tears dropped down from it. "Tell me the truth, Oregon…"
"What truth? Talk to me," He said, and she rubbed her nose which seemed to be appearing runny.
"It's about my parents," She whispered, and looked up at him. She saw how worried and anxious Oregon looked now.
"Did you kill them?" She asked, her voice breaking.
"Vivian…" His whisper trailed off.
"Please, answer me truthfully!" She screamed, shutting her eyes tightly.
